Ancient Athens, a Historical Parody Song

Educational Songs

Krasocles of ancient Sparta considers the good life in ancient Athens as he sings about it with Mr. Krason's ancient world history students. This is an educational, historical parody of Weezer's "Beverly Hills," but instead of being envious of the Beverly Hills lifestyle, a Spartan hoplite wonders what life would be like as an Athenian citizen. For more songs like this one, go to my history parody songs page at https://sites.google.com/view/krasonhistorysongs/.

432 years Before Common Era, a Spartan hoplite wonders what it would be like to be an Athenian and to part, with the military-centric lifestyle he has been accustomed to all of his life.
Where I come from isn't all that great.
We train for war pretty much all day.
Was taken away from mom and dad
When I was only seven years old
I didn't go to fancy schools.
LIberal arts weren't taught to me.
Why should they cause this is Sparta
I learned to form a phalanx.
Ancient Athens!
That's where I want to be!
Living in Ancient Athens!
Ancient Athens!
Voting in democracy
Living in Ancient Athens!
Look at those philosophers
They're all so insightful and wise
Socrates questions everything
and Plato founded the Academy
I want to think a lot like them
or maybe lead like Pericles
Build a second Parthenon
or carve the next big freeze
Ancient Athens!
That is where I want to be!
Living in Ancient Athens!
Ancient Athens!
Voting in democracy
Living in Ancient Athens!
Truth is
They don't stand a chance
Sparta's more prepared
for the Peloponnesian War
Now I know
We'll fight a drawn-out war
Because we couldn't stand you anymore
But it the end, we'll just pave the way
for Alexander
Ancient Athens!
That is where I want to be!
Living in Ancient Athens!
Ancient Athens!
Voting in democracy
